Mr.. HEwITT's letter to the Young
Mems Democratic Club of Brooklyn is a
manly one, and coming as it does from a
man who has always been the friend of
the laborer there can be no charge Of
prejudice But this organization of labor
into society which places its acts beyond
the law must have its cause in some in
justice which statesmen should seek to
remedy. Remove the cause of such labor
organizations as now threaten to restrain
the liberty of the individual, and the labor
organization will cease to exist.
Capital has controlled legislatures and
courts. Capital has banded together to
Cypress and has secured laws which in
terfere with natural channels of trade
1t has also imposed restraints upon the
individual, hypocritically assuming it was
for the public good. When labor says:
you shall not employ that man." it
commits no more grievous offense against
society than when capital says: "You
shall not buy those goods" Labor
organizations are the outgrowth of years
of wrong endured and are rude copy of
what capitalists have been doing. Not
so specious and more pronounced, they
offend while capital is more insidious and
more harmful.
Our protective doctrine is beginning
to bear fruit. There is not an institution
in the land which has not its hand reached
out for assistance. There is hardly a
society organized that has not petitioned
for some privilege either in the remission
of taxes or direct aid. The pension craze
is the protection idea run mad The
labor organizations are designed for pro-
lection. Cut the root and all the shoots
will perish.

The printers on all the English papers
of Milwaukee went out on strike on
Tuesday and those papers presented a
rather hungry appearance In consequence.
There is no class of laborers having less
justification for striking than printers
have. In proportion to the profits of the
business there are no employees who get
larger wages. The printer is never sub
jected to any indignities, nor made to
feel that he occupies a subordinate posi-
ton. He knows nothing of the domineer-
ing boss who contributes so much toward
what is Objectionable in other depart
ments of manual labor. There is scarce
ly country printing Office in the state
IN which the compositors are not doing
better than the proprietors. In the large
cities 1t is very rarely that complaints
made by the printers are allowed to go
unheeded. The printers have had
union for years almost perfect in its
organization and through this they have
practically had everything they asked
for, frequently many things which were
beyond the ability of the proprietors to
concede without injury to themselves.
There is danger that the printers are
inclined to abuse their power There is
no labor organization which can survive
the sympathy of the public and each
should be careful to do nothing which
viii cause that sympathy to be withdrawn.
The newspaper can hardly be regarded
as soulless corporation; it is more often
struggling industry"

THE Second District may now enjoy
the distinction it has earned of having
driven General Bragg out of congress,
while he enjoys the distinction of being
one of the ablest as well as the most
fearless congressman the nation has had.
But it does seem strange that a congress-
ional district should court infamy by
glorying in the fact that it has driven
such a man as Bragg from congress.
He is not politician. He courts no
one He studies no ones whims to crafty
them and earn support. He seeks to
put no one under obligations to him
with a of view drawing for future favors.
He is even impolitic in acting his con-
vlctlons. He never hesitates to speak
out his mind let the consequences be
what they may. He is just the kind of
man whom an intelligent congressional
district would delight in having as a
representative. Independent, almost to
haughtiness; implacable in his opposition
to everything which savors of dishonesty;
more inclined to give assistance than to
promise it; as determined in pursuing his
course as he is positive in fixing it. he is
a man for all to admire.

NAUCKE,t the German champion wrestler.
measures sixty-seven inches round the
chest and sixty-fve inches round the
waist. He stands five feet eleven inches
and weighs Al pounds. His arm is as
big around as WestphaGa ham and his
thigh is like unto flour-barrel for cir
conference. One of Naucke's little
tricks is to lift 100 pounds with each
little finger up to the level of his shoulder
and then trust the arms out to their full
length, at right angles with the per
pendicular line of his body. Another is
to put up 250-pound dumbbell from the
shoulder seven times. You may harness
your horse to his right arm and he will
pull against the animal for wager. He
hangs LOO pounds of iron about his
waist and waltzes about the platform.
One of his performances which attracted
great praise IN army-beridden Germany
was to go through all the musket exer-
cises with an exaggerated weapon weigh
ing 1872 pounds, and then firing it off with
load OF corresponding bulk. Naucke
never learned to box because, as he used
frankly to say, he was afraid he might
hit s0mebody.

Col. WSrEoUs threatens to make it
warm for Mr.. Rublee in the next issue OF
The Telegraph. That is all nonsense and
it is to be hoped the Colonel will think
better of it. If Mr.. Watrous can demon
strate to the satisfaction of the public
that the Office of state pension agent is
no sincecure there are but few people in
the state who will not rejoice to see him
retained. II the office is useless it should
be abolished. This is the only question
involved and the only one proper to con-
slider In the controversy. Mr.. Rublee's
motives, unless they have led him to
falsify, are not part of the matter

The Chronicle, whose editor was a
soldier and whose health was shattered
in the service of his country, closes an
editorial on the pension bill as follows:
But the only bad feature of the De
pendent Pension Bill was not that it
would operate to degrade and humiliate
all pensioners. 1t made possible m
limited frauds by which millions would
be taken from the Treasury each year to
encourage the idleness and unthriftiness
of thousands who never did thing to
deserve a cent. The bill, if properly
labeled, should have been called: "a bill
to humiliate brave and deserving soldiers
and to encourage mendicancy by Offering
premiums to paupers." All honor to
Grover Cleveland for his veto

The democrats in the legislature are
credited with purpose to make capital
out of the movement to require citizen
ship as a qualification of voter. It is
hoped they viii not do SO. The require
ment is of much more consequence than
the success of the party. If democrats,
the majority of whom believe that only
citizens should have voice in the man
agement of the affairs of the country,
should play the demagogue and raise the
cry of knownothing in reference to a
movement which is not only meritorious
but necessary, there Will be loss for
which the gain will but lily compensate
In a matter of that kind there should be
no thought OF party advantage and no
desire to shirk responsibility. The fact
is that the party which shows least dis
position to pander to abhorrent elements
is the one which ultimately commands
popularity. 1t profits party but little
to gam temporary success by trafficking
in its virtue and winning the support of
those whose alliance, in time, becomes
source of weakness.

The next thing we will hear of in the
pension line will be an effort to pension
all the dependent relatives of Adam. No
one can deny that Adam has done great
deal for this country, and it is equally
true that many of his hneal descendants
are in poor-houses and actually suffering
for the necessaries of life. This is base
ingratitude. Where would this country
be if Adam had yielded to his burdens of
sorrow when expelled from the Garden
and committed suicide. And still the
heartless government at Washington
refuses to properly recognize the services
Adam has done for humanity.

WHEw, but The National Tribune, the
pension agents organ at Washington to
which Bragg made reference in his speech,
goes for Cleveland! II has sent out
marked copies to every local paper in the
United States. The entire editorial page
is mass Of abuse of Cleveland and Fair
child's circular is placed at the head in
large bold type. OF course the object
this pension agent organ has in scattering
itself among the local papers, is to furnish
them ready-made opinions already
set out in words. The local press is too
apt to become the tools of such designing
sheets, and The Tribune's furious TRADE
will furnish thought to many a patriotic
weekly. 1t is too bad the bill was vetoed
These pension agents must get their
share of the spoils and they will have it.
1t is only question of time and there is
no use in making opposition.

n has done for humanity.

HEPBURN must have strange idea of
patriotism or else he must think the
article affected by the Grand Army a
peculiar kind, when he stated that that
organization regarded Bragg as Benedict
Arnold? Why? Not because he was I'M
true-to his country. Not because he did
not fight for the union with all the in
tensity of his nature. But because he
fought against the pension bill. This
then is Hepburn's idea of patriotism-a
raid upon the treasury, and because Bragg
did not lead this raid the sc. A. r. would
hang his carcass upon the nearest gibbet."

EVERY newspaper in the state should
make it point to show up every dema-
gogue in the legislature. Newspapers

idiots who seek power by pandering to

SOME who are proving that President
Cleveland is a rebel sympathizer, anxious
to see this government come to a speedy
end and particularly malevolent in his
feeling toward the nations defenders
show all these things by instancing the
fact that while he has rebel brigadiers"
in his cabinet, he has not single union
soldier. Some time ago the discovery was
made that Bragg fought on the other
side; now Col. Villas is rebel brigadier
too, it seems.

Cleveland will appoint General Bragg
Chief Justice of the supreme court of the
District of Columbia. There is too much
need of Bragg in active political life to
fight frauds. When he gets to be like
other politicians and always calculates

actions, it will be time enough to let him
seek the dignifed retirement of the bench.
